Translational control mediated by an upstream
open reading frame (uORF) in the 5 -leader of the Neurospora
crassa arg-2 mRNA was reconstituted in a homologous,
cell-free in vitro translation system. A cell-free N. crassa system was developed that required the presence of cap and
poly(A) on RNA for maximal translation and that was amino
acid-dependent. The 24-codon arg-2 uORF, when placed in the 5 -leader region of capped and adenylated synthetic luciferase RNAs, conferred Arg-specific negative regulation in this
system. Improving the uORF translation initiation context decreased
luciferase production and only slightly increased the magnitude of
Arg-specific regulation. Mutation of uORF Asp codon 12 to Asn, which
eliminates Arg-specific regulation in vivo, eliminated regulation in vitro. Elimination of the uORF translation
initiation codon also eliminated Arg-specific regulation. Arg-specific
regulation in vitro appeared to be reversible. Control of
RNA stability did not appear to be a primary component of Arg-specific
regulation in vitro. Comparison of the effects of adding
Arg to in vitro translation reactions with adding compounds
related to Arg indicated that Arg-specific translational regulation was
specific for L-arginine.
